Advice For Chapter Historians

Guys and gals..... PLEASE put "printing" as a line item in your budgets. Digital photography has been a boon to Greeks in that now EVERYONE can help document events and email them to the historian and/or PR person.

BUT, archiving your prints on a disk or flash drive is NOT enough. You MUST make scrapbooks, preferably a yearly one.

Technology evolves too rapidly to leave the recovery work to the next generation. I would hate to have the Greek years of the '00s and '10s become lost because nobody thought to print out their photographs and put them in an album.

The GREAT thing about digital photography, unlike film, is that you can pick and choose which photos you want prints of. if you took 60 pics (the magic facebook number) and only ten are album-worthy, then you only pay to print 10.

(And for those of you with high quality color printers, great! But I still recommend sending them off to be printed professionally.)

That's my morning rant, I hope it wasn't previously discussed.
